Removing the Rear Bumper on Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 1, 8L - Years 1996-2003
Part: Rear bumper

Do you want to replace the rear bumper on your Audi A3? Here’s how to remove the rear bumper piece once the tailgate is lifted. Unscrew the securing screws located at the front of the bumper (outer side), and remove the protection bar. Unscrew the screws located at the bottom of the bumper, then remove the screws located at the sides of the wheel arch liners. Once the bumper is free from any screws or bolts, take hold of it and pull it away from the bodywork. Always check for any electrical cables inside the bumper before completely removing it.
